**Oct 19- got in a car accident - not severe, but got hit from behind pretty hard, not sure if it's even relevant..

Oct 20 - HCG number 140 - totally devastated, bleeding and cramping start --thinking at least I don't have to take the methotrexate used for eliminating an ectopic. Have a glass of wine and cry.

Today- HCG number 380. What the hell does this mean, I didn't know this could happen?? Worried I will have to take the medication after all..or worse it could rupture - they want me back on wed to take another blood sample and ultrasound.

Has anyone had numbers that go down then shoot back up - I am worried??

Not sure what is going on- pretty sure it's ectopic- but here is the sequence of things- this group may have better insight, and I would really appreciate any info!

Well. Ultrasound showed nothing but a cyst on left. But blood work showed levels same as Friday at 54 which was 49 the day I was diagnosed with miscarriage 2 weeks ago. I go tomorrow for the methotrexate shot. Prayers for you!

Sorry - that doesn't sound like the best outcome, but at least no ruptured tubes. Hope you are feeling ok! I had a ruptured ovarian cyst in dec - horribly painful, I'd make sure they watch that. Hopefully next time will be more successful for both of us - hugs!

Mine did that they never figured out why but it was a month after I passed the tissue and the numbers went back up. thankfully my dr gave me a week for my numbers to go back down before the shot and they did slowly go back down. But they never found any form of a baby before or after the mc. The stinky thing is I bleed for two months extremely heavy :(

It makes sense nothing showing on ultrasound to early. Maybe ectopic, maybe had twins and only lost 1. After my last miscarriage the doctor keep checking to make sure the levels went to zero because they couldn't rule out ectopic. However they never went up, but I do remember searching the web and finding woman who said theirs did yo-yo for a bit.

Heres my story: I had an ectopic which was diagnosed at 7wks due to extreme abdo pain. When I was admitted into hospital, my levels were 1050 then went up the next day to 1380. I was excited because it was still going up but they explained it wasn't enough and that the pregnancy wasn't viable and very dangerous. They could not see the embryo on the initial US but insisted it was best to have the methotrexate due to the risk of rupturing my tube and the severity of the pain I was experiencing etc. was given the injection immediately and sent for a follow up ultrasound 48 hrs later which showed the embryo in the tube which I miscarried about a week after the injection. Was terrible and the pain of the ectopic was immense but I was grateful for the quick action of the doctors. It's been a long road with a few losses but I now have 3 beautiful children. Your numbers are probably too low for anything to be seen on US which could also mean bubs is in the right place but is just too small to find yet, but they are very low and slow to rise. The pathology could have made a mistake so don't give up hope just yet. The waiting game is the absolute worst. Good luck sweetie xx

Well - I finally got answers on weds. my numbers continued to rise, slowly, and the bleeding and cramping were another indicator - it was diagnosed as ectopic and they gave me the methotrexate shot, hopefully my numbers will go down by next week and I can heal up and try again.

I wasn't really trying to get pregnant - but when it happened, I was over the moon and so excited for this next chapter. Now I am devastated and shocked at how much emotion I have attached to this, it is comforting that I'm not alone- thanks all!

I had the same thing with my ectopic... I had the methotrexate shot but then my hcg levels went up again... I had already been bleeding for over a month so I had to have surgery to have it removed. Then I found out I was pregnant when I had the surgery... Just a few days... But that was why my hcg levels were rising again! I Am due in 7 weeks but I am having a few complication which I believe are due to the methotrexate, nothing too serious, baby is just small... so if I had the choice I would never do the methotrexate again!
